Because Obama is a shrewd and cynical political opportunist. He has a history of trying to play both sides of any issue for maximum political benefit. Obama doesn't seem to really believe in any cause other than furthering his own political career and ambitions.
Maybe he'd be less opportunistic in a second term and pursue his true ideological goals -- if he actually has any -- and that's actually what scares me most about an Obama second term. As he told Medvedev, he'll be more "flexible" in his second term on a lot of issues. I don't personally care about the gay marriage issue. That's not my concern. My concern is Obama's true ideological position on a host of other issues that affect all of us, not just a small demographic.
Obama gets called out by Anderson Cooper and MSNBC, for not taking a stance on Gay Marriage. Why do you think he wont speak up?

Dan™: Real Change, Not Fals... 2012/05/08 15:39:50
Besides, the Enquirer, as full of lies as it is, is more credible than any Obama paid Communist News Network.
Now please show me proof that supports and proves that what this Larry said is credible. I'm still waiting...

Publications often pay their sources for information whether factual or fabricated.
Point is the man is crazy and these publications often post false gossip to increase sales. The fact that you view him as a credible source is laughable. I have provided my proof. Why don't you stop dancing around providing proof for your original claim? :)
Hey since you are so gullible, I have some beachfront property I will sell you really cheap.

You Americans surely have a pretty tough and rather limited choice ahead.
Very true, Romney is indeed a flip-flopper and it is a very limited choice. I'm not a Romney supporter. But I don't really think it's a tough choice. Obama has been a failure and he must go. We need a new direction and a new leader.
I agree with you though . This Gay Marriage Issue & Abortion Issue are nothing but a side show to get is OFF POINT ! There are Much More Important Things To Worry About .
Also he needs votes on both sides of this issue and the MAJORITY of Americans do NOT support Homosexual Marriages as Marriage is between ONE MAN & ONE WOMAN period! So my prediction is that he will wait until fall before coming out on this issue.
LOL Coming Out indeed!
This may be true, but that's sort of a technicality. What really matters is whether Obama considers himself a muslim. I don't think he does.
For example, I was born and raised within the Mormon tradition, although I long ago left the church and am no longer religious at all. Mormons sort of view their members the same way as muslims. If you were ever once a member, they always consider you a member, whether you still consider yourself a member of the church or not. They simply classify you as an "inactive" member. They don't acknowledge that someone who was a Mormon can ever be a non-member.
But what's important is what the individual considers himself to be. Using your argument about Obama's muslim background and applying it to my Mormon example, I'd be quite offended if you insisted that I really am still a Mormon just because the Mormon church classifies me as an inactive member. I reject their classification.
Do you see my point?
Remember the Mosque that is being pushed near ground zero? He supports that. Why?
He has ties with
Louis Farrakhan ~ A muslim
The NBPP
The SEIU
CAIR and HAMAS<<< Muslim groups who hate America and our way of life.
ACORN
Etc.
OBAMA SUPPORTS the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD TAKEOVER OF SYRIA.
Why?
As for you being a Mormon (Former Mormon) that is a choice you've made for yourself for whatever personal reasons you may have.
I don't believe for a second that Obama is a Christian because he always speaks about Muslims and he supports what they do. A Christian would not slam the Holy Bible * (Obie has).
A Christian who follows the Holy Bible would not flip on the Gay Marriage issue. We know he is doing this to get the Homosexual Community Vote in the same we he is working on getting the Mexican vote by suing the Sheriff of Maricopa County ~ Joe Arpaio.
A Christian would never ever vote against the BORN ALIVE PROTECTION ACT ~ Babies who survive the abortion and are then taken to dark cold dirty utility/laundry rooms to die.
Lets Say You.
Again, on all of these points I don't disagree with you. He does indeed embrace muslims. But what are his motives for this? Is it out of shared religious conviction? I don't know, but I don't think so for the reasons I mentioned before. Is it because Obama is an idealistic appeaser who things the open hand will move U.S. foreign policy further than a clenched fist? Again, I don't know his motives for certain, but I do think there's an element of idealistic (and naîve) appeasement at work in his worldview. Is it because Obama prefers to empathize with anti-American sentiments around the world or wants to be seen as open-minded by such anti-American elements? I think so. I think there's a very strong case, based upon Obama's own speeches and policies over the past 3+ years, to argue that Obama has deep sympathies with and a desire to influence those who harbor anti-American sentiments.

As far as Obama's undeniable ties with and support of SEIU and ACORN, neither of those organizations has a major muslim influence, as despicable as they may be.
As far as Obama's supposed Christian faith, I personally don't believe he's a serious Christian theist either; but that doesn't mean he's therefore a muslim. That's sort of my point: I don't think Obama gives any evidence in his speeches or actions that he takes ANY particular religious belief very seriously -- certainly not as seriously as a passionate believer. He speaks of religion in culturally relativistic & ecumenical terms, rather with a believer's conviction.
"A Christian who follows the Holy Bible would not flip on the Gay Marriage issue."
Well, there are actually Christians who don't object to gay marriage, but I would also point out to you that a muslim who follows the Koran also wouldn't flip-flop on the gay marriage issue. In many muslim countries, homosexuals are put to death. So that point seems to undermine your thesis that he's secretly a devout muslim.
